JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 11, 2004) - The Mountain States Health Alliance Buccaneer Sports Network, in cooperation with WJCW-AM 910 and Stretch Internet, will broadcast select ETSU Baseball games this season. The first broadcast of the season will be Mar. 23 as the Bucs host in-state rival Tennessee.
The games will be broadcast on WJCW for fans in the Tri-Cities area and will be available on the East Tennessee State athletic website, www.ETSUBucs.com.
Nine regular-season games will be broadcast, as well as any Southern Conference Tournament games. The network will air seven home games, a road game at Tennessee as well as the neutral-site Kingsport Classic against Virginia Tech from Hunter Wright Stadium in Kingsport, Tenn.
